Hello,
This is Michiyo from Japan; I am back after two years of absence
from here.

Today is Masanobu Fukuoka's 93rd birthday. Some friends are
celebrating in Tokyo with his video message.

Over these two years, I visited the fukuoka farm in Ehime every two
months(please don't shower me with questions; and I cannot deliver
any personal messages to him since now he is now completely retired
from all affairs), I took part in some
domestic re-greening projects, and finally I was able to visit
Panos in Greece.
I met quite a few list members in various places, I hope they are
still here contributing to the lively discussion or at their farm
covered with straws.

I am now preparing for a seeding project in the bare mountain area
where there used to be a copper mine. Although the project is self-
supported, I would like to raise funds by selling the books and
video tapes if possible.

I am wondering if any of the list members would contribute and
support us:
I am selling 5 "The Ultimatum of God Nature, the One-Straw
Revolution A RECAPITULATION" by Masanobu Fukuoka
(3 of them are rat-bitten around the edge, and the other two have
some damages, too from having been stored at his mountain hut!)
I want to sell one copy at USD30 or EUR25, including the shipping.

These copies are among the last 10 copies that were printed in 1996.

We used to sell one copy for JPY3,000 plus the shipping. So with the
damages, I would
have liked to offer at a much lower rate, but please understand this
is a fund raising.

I am also selling
"For Living on the Planet Earth:
Natural Farming, Masanobu Fukuoka"
by Koji Imaizumi; 61 minutes, 1998.

It is a video in the NTSC format. It is a documentary film of
Masanobu's
trip to India in 1997, and Yuko Honma's instruction on how to make
hand-made clayballs.
I will sell a copy for USD 35 or EUR 30 including the shipping.

I still have not figured out how to receive money, possibly
International (Postal) Money Order? or you can propose me the
preferred method of paying.

If anyone wants those items, first they need to contact me by
sending a personal e-mail to see
if I have the stock, and after my reply, they should send me money,
and then I will send the book.(sorry for such trouble)

As for the content of the book or the video, maybe those who have
them already can give others honest opinions and advices.
(I will not be offended by negative remarks.)

I enjoy reading news from all over the world. Thank you for all the
posting.

Hi there,
Would love both the book and video. Although since this is Portugal you might want to add more for postage (could by py paypal - free & easy). Would be great if at least one of the items is still available. Maybe an auction would also be a good idea for fundraising? It's just an idea.
Thank you & Genki de...

Thank you all, for your support.

Books are now sold out,
All the videos tapes that I have in stock are sold out
(I will be asking the director for more)

The video is not a DVD, but a tape in NTSC format.
Many European countries usually use PAL or SECAM format,
and the tape needs to be converted.

To those who have already contacted me, I will write personally
and discuss if they can find such services in their area
or if they still would like to buy one.
Other people who were interested in the video might want to consider
this fact. Meanwhile, I will ask the copyright holder of the film
if I am allowed to copy the tape to those format before selling them.

Hello Kostas, it's nice to hear from you.
Keep in touch.

Michiyo

P.S.
I will be replying to all personal mails about the books and
video. Please bear with me for a few days.

This is Michiyo again,

I am sorry to be like a merchant and just trying to sell...
but I have more copies of the book and video tape I advertised
previously.

Please contact me privately if you would like to buy them.

I prefer receiving money by International (Postal) Money Order.

The content of
"The Ultimatum of God Nature,
the One-Straw Revolution A RECAPITULATION"
is completely different from "One Straw Revolution".
